I may do it also

 

go for it lol..

alright so it seems the exhaust smoke is a bit discolored, and idk whats wrong with it. its a light blue color, any ideas? i believe it burns a bit of oil so i'd like to change that as well asap, any tips before i do that for the first time? what type of oil do i use also? 5w-10?

 

blue smoke means burning oil. i use 10w-30 in mine because its thicker, so it dosent burn as fast.

 

is there a set type in civics? prob in the manual eh?

so the lower the #w number is, the thinner it is, which means its less hard on your battery on start up and in the winter, but if it's a high(er) number, it'd be a bit better so it doesn't burn? So a good thing to do would to get a higher number and change the oil frequently? like every 2k-2,5k?

 

meh, idk if what im doing is good or not, but i rock 10w30 and in 2 weeks when its all burned out, i fill it back up. ill change my filter when ever i get extra money. i rly dont even worry about it to much because it burns out so fast i have to keep putting in new.

 

you're changing oil every 2 weeks? damn

 

I think he is topping off every two weeks and changing the filter whenever he gets a chance to.

 

he said when it's all burnt out, he fills it back up

 

LOL.. I guess you are right on that one. Reading>me

*Will wait for spun bearing post if that is the case*

 

lol it's good, it's good.. what happened with the spun bearing post.. and I wanna change my oil today, I have about an hour in a half to get it done before work! any recommended oils/filters and precautions before I go get dirty?
